Teaser of Daft Punk's Tron Legacy soundtrack

I don't know if I've mentioned it already but Daft Punk are scoring the Tron Legacy film and you can here a 6 minute teaser here: http://www.waltdisneystudiosawards.com/tronlegacy/music.php

Some of it's actually quite orchestral rather than digital. "The duo assembled a symphony of eighty-five world-class musicians in London and recorded the orchestra at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, Britain's premier scoring facility." Which also might explain this:

Robot Romance "I'm here" by Spike Jonze

I've just come across this short 30 minute film by Spike Jonze. Jonze is an idol of mine ever since I first saw the Beastie Boys 'Sabotage' and Weezer's 'Buddy Holly' music videos. He's also the main man behind TV show Jackass and full-length-feature-films 'Where the wild things are' and 'Being John Malcovich'. 

'I'm here' is about an alternative world where robots live among the rest of the human population. It has an eerie sub-context that although sometimes dark, makes you wish the world was really like this.

It's also free to watch over at imheremovie.com 

They Live!

I'm a huge fan of the John Carpenter classic 1988 film "They Live" staring Rowdy Roddy Piper against aliens disguised as humans. So when I found out breakbeat/electro peeps Evil Nine are basing their next album on said film, I couldn't help but get over-excited. It's not released until September, but there's a few tracks posted on Discobelle's site.

"Don’t be surprised if “They Live!” does for zombies what Daft Punk did for robots".

"After all, zombies are just like us — just give them a chance!"
